The Bible as Literature

How is the word spirit used in the Bible? What does it mean to be possessed by an unclean spirit? Are spirits real? What does the unclean spirit in Mark 9 tell us about the disciples of Jesus? Why is the afflicted child in Mark unable to hear or speak? Who is to blame for the boy's impairment? What does all this have to do with angels, weather forecasts, and narcissism? Trust the Lord, because on that day, if you are found under the influence of an unclean spirit, you will not be able to say, "the devil made me do it." (Episode 62)
